Again and again had the half-distracted father asked himself the maddening question as he paced the busy Docks. He would return then to Northbourne, where his other beloved child lay in jeopardy of her young life.
The second day comes and goes, so does the third and the fourth, the fifth and the sixth, and then the seventh dawns. Florence Delmaine, who has been half-distracted with conflicting fears and emotions, and who has been sitting in her room apart from the others, with her head bent down and resting on her hands, suddenly raising her eyes, sees Dora standing before her.
The sun rose bright and clear; and, as usual, early in the morning, that is to say morning in its fashionable sense, the greater part of the male population of the town were in motion, hurrying in all directions towards the houses of their female friends and relatives. It appeared as if the women had suddenly deserted the city, and the men were running about, half-distracted, in pursuit of them.
She pleaded for a respite, and so, half-distracted, fixed to-morrow. 'I hope, my dear Madam, you've some little confidence in me. I think I have shown an interest, and I've striven to be of use. 'Oh, Sir, Mr. Dangerfield, you've been too good, our guardian angel; but for you, Sir, we should not have had a roof over our heads, or a bed to lie on; oh! may
And pushing them angrily from her, the unhappy woman would address the boys in accents of half-distracted appeal: "Do try and have more sense, you good-for-nothing scoundrels, you, instead of standing there and grinning at me.

Just as we departed, Strap, who was half-distracted on account of this piece of expense, went up to the schoolmaster, and, grinning in his face, pronounced with great emphasis "Semper avarus eget." To which the pedant replied, with a malicious smile "Animum rege, qui, nisi paret, imperat."
Pere Francois is a blessing in these sad and weary days. Clad "en bourgeois," he smuggles in food and supplies. He cheers the half-distracted Josephine. Armand Valois keeps the modest little maiden Louise, fluttering about the home studio which he shares with Raoul. Their casts and models, poor scanty treasures, make their modest sanctum a wonder to the girl. Her life's romance unfolds.
Still no signs of it was discovered, but he did find traces of footsteps in the grass, which proved the truth of Clorinda's suspicions. "It's over, at all events," said Elsie, as she met Elizabeth on the stairs. "Over!" repeated the half-distracted woman, desperately; "who can tell how or when it may come up again?"
Sorrow-stricken, half-distracted; the wide element of mournful black enveloping him, wide as the world. It is the character of a prophetic man; a man with his whole soul seeing, and struggling to see. On this ground, too, I explain to myself Cromwell's reputed confusion of speech.
No, Colonel, I shall never forget the misery of the house of Ellangowan that morning! the father half-distracted the mother dead in premature travail the helpless infant, with scarce any one to attend it, coming wawling and crying into this miserable world at such a moment of unutterable misery. We lawyers are not of iron, sir, or of brass, any more than you soldiers are of steel.
